Chicago P.D. Interview With Marina Squerciati Part 2

'Chicago P.D.'s' Marina Squerciati Breaks Down That 'Perfect' Burzek Twist, And I Love Her Idea For What Comes Next

Transcript

00:00 I have to say credit to Ruzek in his proposal speech because "let's make it forever" is a great line.

00:06 Isn't it sweet?

00:08 Very cute.

00:09 Perfect.

00:11 I just think of that scene as like this boat and it was like so rocky and they're just in calm waters and the

00:19 seas, the skies have parted and the sun is shining and it's just like yeah, this is it, this is good, this is how we do it.

00:26 Why was now the right time for that to finally happen for them?

00:30 I think touching back to what we talked about, they've both been through the fire and are come out stronger, right?

00:35 I mean maybe Ruzek has some more work to do but I think that Burgess knows who she is.

00:41 She is strong and she knows what she wants.

00:43 I mean she tells him, she goes, "I need you to fight for this. This is the one I want. I want this family. I want this job."

00:49 And they're both in really good places.

00:53 Yes, we don't always see communication that healthy across any of One Chicago.

00:58 We generally see communication that healthy in any relationship.

01:01 Like that was just like pretty adult.

01:03 This is, I guess not a lot of people have been through all the things that Ruzek has been through.

01:07 So maybe that's why they can just speak without subtext.

01:11 He says in this scene that he was planning on doing something bigger, making it more of an event to propose.

01:17 Do you think it was more ideal for her that it was just like, "We've had a tough day. Let's do this together forever"?

01:23 What woman wouldn't want like a little wine and champagne and like caviar?

01:27 But I do think it was perfect. She was in a vulnerable moment.

01:32 She knew what she needed in life and he gave it to her in that moment.

01:35 And I think that was perfect.

01:37 Should he take her out to dinner the next night? Yes.

01:40 But he did it perfectly.
